I worry about the environmental impact of NFT for things that are 1s and 0s that have been duplicated 1000s of times already likely anyways. Even Beeple dedicated to going net carbon neutral on all future works.

At the same time I also feel this is somewhat a fad that will also stick around in a smaller capacity.

Right now NFT is basically a new version of Supreme where people spend a bunch of money to show they can spend a bunch of money.

Its not like a work of art since Monet physically touched and put brush strokes to the canvans. What an NFT is essentially is doing is basically putting your name on the reproduction of that artwork since NFT is just that 1s and 0s sent and duplicated to another hard drive.

Honestly I think it would be more unique to get a copy of the original code, the original photo/video shoot files, or soemthing.

Also would all rights and control be moved to the NFT owner so they could remove, change pricing, or move to another platform the work of art?

Will this have any effect on US payments?

I think it eventually will take a benefit to all: if there is a strong autentication on, and so there can not be any doubts about the person who made a transaction, there will therefore be no need anymore for a bank to flag a transaction as suspicious and/or block it.
During the process of implementation and stabilization of such a new tecnology, though, there could temporarily be even more issues for the customers...

Will this have any effect on US payments? I know my Bank already flags my over seas transactions for review. It was bad at the beginning. Total account lockdown with me having to call the bank to review and make sure everything was legit.

How does the NFT relate to iStripper content? Are you going to create digital content that will be sold to a limited number of members?

My speculation is they are thinking about releasing the whole iS catalog also as NFTs, so people wanting it could own the "original files" (or so) of their favorite card(s) and bind it to themselves by getting their own name on the blockchain.
i don't know if such a marketing idea would work; only thing I know is I wouldn't be interested in it...

I also reminded myself on the Youtube Chanel SemperVideo, he made also three Videos about it.
All in German Language, just in case the one or the other German User here,
needs this very helpful explanation in his native Language.

He made also some more useful Videos about Cryptocurrency in general,
just fill the Searchbar with Bitcoin on his Chanel 😉

Personally, I don't like this idea. If I were to spend my money on something (whatever it is) that is limited, unique or somehow special, it would have to be something that exists physically in the real world, not digital goods.
Good example would be your outfit auctions - you sell items somehow unique and they exists physicaly. These are things you can look at, touch, smell or whatever. You can be 100% sure there's no second copy like the one you have and you are the only owner.

How does the NFT relate to iStripper content? Are you going to create digital content that will be sold to a limited number of members? Something like SEC cards, except that the number of copies will be limited? Or maybe some special shows or VR clips dedicated to selected users or group of users?

Thx Stanston :)

Here's a thought for you.

If you look at the screen print you will see that the store currently holds 4942 cards available for purchase. This does, of course, include the boys from the old VirtuaGuy days.

As a test, I purchased one of these cards (believe me - it may never get watched!) and my card count did increase in both My Collection and in my Profile by 1.

So - if I bought all those cards I would only be just 58 cards away from the magic 5k.

Now ask yourself the question - what would YOU be prepared to do to get there first?

The market for NFTs and digital items collection is booming and we would love to hear from you about it.

NFTs, "non-fungible tokens"-resulting from the hyper-secure technology of blockchain and crypto currencies are revolutionizing the art, video games, sports and collectibles market, like NBA Top Shot, Sorare or even Godsunchained.
Card collectors see this technology changing collectible trading markets by certifying their great value.
Other big names like Pokémon or DC comics are also expected to come on the market.

When you have an NFT it is "for life", engraved for life on the blockchain and certified in your name forever!

iStripper and VirtuaGirl before it has unique content and we're always thinking of how to highlight our 20 years history and produce unique adult content.

NFT seems to be a very interesting way of doing this, not only for our very first VirtuaGirl animations created in 1998, which is a treasure in the history of adult entertainment (we even find traces of it in some great marketing books of the 2000s where VirtuaGirl is described as a model of viral mechanism, with its 150 million downloads) ... like all our iStripper cards!

As you know, Totem has always been a pioneer in technology. VirtuaGirl released in 1998 with the birth of the Internet, was entirely designed in-house with a unique concept of cutting out video in the first proof.
20 years on, Totem is still pioneering with the launch of the world's first 3D VR Striptease club, vrparadise.com...

It is therefore quite natural that we take an interest in the principle of NFTs, their interest, their future, their sustainability...

Highway To Hell is a very big temptation,

I waited for so long the cash back event. It seems that was 2 times only last year.
Our target is to buy only the cards that we want.
Their target is to sell all the cards.
Simple.
Always I bought only the cards that I want,
From all my cards I bought very rare cards at full price. From the start I bought them at Previews sales with 20% and 10% off. I played minigames only for two times, from where I bought only two packs of cards, in which all the cards was from my wishlist.
Last time I bought old cards from my wishlist, which I never seen them at sales, just to get the trophy with 100 cards in 1 day. But they were cheaper because are old.
Save cash back 25% and after that another with 20% from last year were my favorites.
If I had a higher salary, I would buy more.
If were no discounts in my wishlist cards, I wouldn't buy them so many.
The sales are win-win situation, because they make me to pay more, when I don't want, even if are less money for them.
If you want all the cards, play all the minigames, because is the best way.
If you want only the cards that you wish, is harder, it takes more time and money,

Nice

I have found many helpful threads and have the interface much improved! But these last two checkboxes didn't seem to be discussed anywhere. The forum search being non-functional doesn't help with that.

Thanks guys!

You put a play list or several cards into the "Next" field at the top and set it going with the on/off. If random is ticked the cards play randomly, if not ticked the bottom card plays, then drops into history when done and the next card at bottom starts. Bit like an egg timer works I see it as. Repeat allows it to run over and over if ticked. There is no doubt a thread about but would have taken me longer to find it than type this I think. Someone will no doubt find it.
As for adding pictures you do not seem to have that option in this part of the forum. Normally next to the smiley face on its right is a small picture icon, but it's not there for me either. So not just you. Probably need to check the rules about pictures. Some threads don't allow nudity.
Lots of threads all over to help you get going, but for 3 days you have cetainly got the buying cards part sorted.

Welcome to iStripper.

When you add cards (or clips) to the next section in now playing or insert a playlist then "random" chooses a random card from the next list. Uncheck random and it plays the cards in the order they were added.

"Repeat" repeats the playing of the cards in the next list (either in order or randomly if "random" is checked).

Only team members can add pictures in the New Users Corner.

Use another forum section such as Everything About iiStripper if you want to add pictures. Click on the "picture icon" or ***** and drop.

Please note nudity is not allowed in certain sections.

Or at least they're a mystery to me...

There is a "Random" and a "Repeat" checkbox at the bottom of the right hand history column in the app. What do they do, exactly? I would put a screen shot here but so far, I haven't figured out how to add a picture to a post- pasting doesn't work, ***** and drop doesn't work. Not having a good day here.

iStripper is a business and not a charity.And the Girls want also to have Food and a Home/Apartment/House whatever to live in it.
And they want some Entertaining for themself, so they need Money for it as well.@Sexy3DBoy , @Stanston - yes these facts really should be remembered by all. We should all stop debating over a few credits off a card. If you have several hundred or more you already have plenty to watch and enjoy for now.

Customers who think like this will cause the product to continue to weaken. No game or erotic software can survive long term without three groups...Long term investors, moderate and consistent investors, and many new and short term investors. The special event, gambling, and lack of choice in sales ***** all three groups and will cause all three to shrink while providing only short term boost in profits. Once the threshold is crossed where profits drop due to fewer customers the company will accelerate or double down on their short term schemes, making more special event, removing more sales, and adding in more gambling. As they do this they will then cut investments into the service in the name of "margins". Suddenly the "whales" and long term investors will drift to the middle group, the middle group will stop or become short term investors, and new customers will be turned off by the quality of product and the ***** nature of the product. Is totem entering into this cycle? Fewer sales, more gambling, and weaker product with little investment into improvements. That is what I see. Maybe pandemic related, hopefully, but aquiescent customers will only make the problems worse.

Who will be the first to reach 5,000 cards?

Only 131 to go ... 16th August :-)

I didn't want to go so far with my thoughts, but unfortunately this is how I feel it right now.

The essential thing is I was enjoying iStripper while there was at least some sales where you could choose what you buy. But I am not enjoying it so much now.

I understand very well that supply and demand determine prices, that is also why I started this thread. I wanted to know how many users feel the same way.

Also don't forget the poll, why there is only few people who voted, the results are clear: almost every kind of user would like to participate in a sale like Cashback was. But iStripper probably don't see it as profitable for them anymore?

I feel the same and completley 100% agree. These gambling games are the worst. IMO, not a promotion. If they are, they're a promotion to lose your credits. Only a very few win and come out ahead. The pack purchases are just set up to move cards that don't normally sell very well. If I don't buy or wishlist them, what makes totem think I'm even remotely interested? It's not about business survival, it's about maximizing profit, period.
As far as me buying anymore, I bought some credits several months back and will be using them on what I want and then I'm done. Totem has done the exact same thing as they did in the past with VG. New name to attract new customers is all that is different. This is my opinion and I'am entitled to it...

@Sexy3DBoy Can you answer me? Why you think every client must shup up and accept everything business has to offer? Why they did the poll? Maybe I will start to understand how are you thinking.

The whole thread I am just saying: I don't like the new promotions, I liked the old ones more!

And you are just saying: shut up and dealt with it!

Thank you for perfect conversation.

You are still seeing it wrong.

Yes, I love that!😆

In conclusion, the real discussion is when we disagree...

I don't know why I went this long without posting the pics of my avatar girl Heidi. The first one is from Matira Beach and the last two are from Demure. I'm taking this occasion to return to my Heidi avatar after a few weeks of memorial to Leila.

Soon I will post some tributes, not sure on which thread or perhaps on a new one, to Heidi and some of the others who were among my first downloads when I joined here four years ago this month.

You are still seeing it wrong. Being a business means ignoring wishes of your customers? Or clients?

Who won the survey for the best promotion on iStripper? Wasn't it Cashback? Naw, forget it.

I don't get why you think every client must shup up and accept everything business has to offer?

Why you think they did the poll, to know which promotion to cancel?

@Romla,

You are an adult and you decide according to your means and your desires.

istripper is a business and not a charity.

But it's not only about money, I just don't like the sales we are getting right now, all of them are about getting random cards, but I just ***** to collect random cards.

There was at least one good sale where you could choose what you want every 4 months, but it seems like it is gone now? I don't know, maybe not, but I was waiting so long for it and now I am disappointed, you must understand that.

@Stanston,

The ***** is huge under the Humanity, Money is getting less by many,
including the ***** about to loose everything.
And Money is getting more for a few rare people, even within the Pandemic.

iStripper is in Fact as you were saying an Entertainment Product,
but Entertainment Production is costing in Fact Money for the Entertainment Industry as well.
And the Girls want also to have Food and a Home/Apartment/House whatever to live in it.
And they want some Entertaining for themself, so they need Money for it as well.

The best paragraph...

@Sexy3DBoy Yes, that is also my point, you are telling me I must accept every price they will come up with. The answer is no, I don't.

The question is only if iStriper can live without users like me, they surely can for now. :-)

No, you are false, the price of the product is going up, because there is less good sales on the product, like it was before. While I liked the prices of the product before, I don't like it so much now. It is absolutely false to assume everyone will be buying iStripper cards if the prices skyrocket to heaven, there is also competiton and while I like iStripper product very much, because there is not something similar, I can live without it and can find some other site to have fun with.

With this above, you didn't understand my P.O.V:

To make short: You have money you buy, if not! you don't buy.

I can't tell you more...
